| | Spruce |
 | | The upright tree forms, such as Colorado Blue spruce, are very popular in large landscapes and the smaller shrub forms, such as Blue Nest spruce, offer an unique addition to smaller, more private garden areas. |
 | | Spruce are not only important in the landscape, they are valued for their strong, lightweight wood used in construction and for items important to many Minnesotans, such as canoe paddles. |
 | | The sap from spruce may be a nuisance to gardeners as they work with their plants, but it is used in several medicinal compounds and in varnish. |
